KINDS OF BUILDING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Luke 6:46-49

Acts 20:32, ÒSo now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.Ó What kind of ÒbuildingÓ are you? As a believer, we are like a building that is going through construction on a regular basis. All buildings are before Him but not all buildings are progressing in construction before Him. We all come before Him calling and lifting up hands before Him, but not all of us are doing what He says. So can you as a believer identify yourself? Luke 6:46, ÒBut why do you call Me ÔLord, Lord,Õ and not do the things which I say?Ó Despite that we are all gathering and calling on Him as Lord does not mean we have accepted His Lordship over us. We can deceive our brethren by the lifting up of hands or singing beautifully, but Jesus knows who we are. The two kinds of buildings that Jesus identifies are the ones that are in the church today. However, He pointed out that the ones that hear and do His word will stand in time of challenges. The ones that do not do His word do have a price to pay. Luke 6:49, ÒBut he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.Ó It is important for us as believers to know the consequences of playing religion than knowing the consequences of Jesus reality. The reason is that we will always be kept in constant check. Also, God is good and there are so many good waiting for those that are faithful in their walk with Him. Constantly keep in mind what awaits those ÒbuildingsÓ that are not hearing. You do not want to be a building that is going through the wrong construction.
